Families in BR2 often want outdoor space that feels relaxed, but still properly secure. We design child-friendly layouts with clear sightlines, safe boundaries and practical play zones that suit Keston’s village feel. Whether you’re near Keston Common or walking distance from Keston Ponds, we’ll tailor the garden to how your family uses it. The result is a space that looks premium and works safely day to day.
Keston’s mix of period cottages, large detached houses and country homes often comes with generous lawns, mature planting and varied levels. That can be brilliant for play, but it also introduces risks such as drops, hard edges and hidden corners. Our approach to child safe gardens in London Borough of Bromley focuses on reducing hazards while keeping the garden’s character. We regularly work across nearby areas including Hayes and Farnborough, adapting designs to each property’s layout.
We start with a safety-led survey, then produce a clear plan covering fencing, gates, planting, surfaces and any water features. You’ll get straightforward recommendations, material options and a tidy, well-managed build programme. Every installation is finished with a walk-through checklist so you know what’s been improved and why. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and long-lasting results.
Keston gardens can include mature trees, shaded corners and uneven ground, especially near the Common and older plots. We design for drainage, slip resistance and stability, and we plan deliveries around narrow drives and limited on-street parking. Where boundaries meet public footpaths or shared access, we specify secure gates and compliant fencing heights. If any work touches protected trees or boundary constraints, we’ll help you navigate London Borough of Bromley expectations.

Costs vary depending on size, access and what’s being upgraded. As a guide, targeted safety improvements (gate upgrades, rounded edging, small soft-surface zones) often start around £1,500–£4,000. A more complete redesign with new fencing, surfacing, planting changes and pond safety typically ranges from £8,000–£25,000+. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit in Keston.
Smaller upgrades can be completed in 1–3 days, particularly if you’re adding secure gates, safer edging and a small play surface. Mid-size projects usually take 1–2 weeks, while full garden refurbishments can run 3–6 weeks. Timescales depend on groundworks, curing times for bases, fencing runs, and any bespoke joinery or made-to-measure safety covers.
Most child-safety improvements are permitted development, such as replacing fencing, adding gates, installing play surfaces and adjusting planting. Planning can come into play with taller boundary treatments, works near highways, listed buildings, or if your property has specific restrictions. If trees are protected or you’re close to sensitive boundaries, additional permissions may apply. We’ll flag likely issues early and can liaise with Bromley where needed.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on installed hard landscaping elements such as paving bases, edging, fencing and structural features, when maintained appropriately. Manufacturer warranties apply to products like gates, fixings and specialist safety surfacing, and we’ll pass those details to you. The warranty covers installation faults rather than accidental damage or misuse. We also provide aftercare guidance to keep surfaces and boundaries performing safely.
Popular options include close-board or slatted fencing with child-safe gaps, self-closing gate hardware, and rounded composite or timber edging. For soft landings, we often use bonded rubber mulch, wetpour, or reinforced turf in play zones. Non-toxic planting can include robust shrubs and sensory herbs, while pond safety might involve rigid grilles or secure covers. We’ll recommend choices based on your garden style, budget and how your children play.
